Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 6 Uptown
"It's delicious!" As soon as Chen Baojia sat down, he couldn't wait to get his chopsticks, so he tore off a small piece of cake and threw it into his mouth.

"Yao'er, your mother brought these things again?" Aunt Li was ashamed.

"Yes, I took a small bag of flour and twenty eggs." Li Yao said truthfully.

Chen Shizhu frowned when he heard this, and sat at the table smoking a cigarette, but he couldn't pick up his chopsticks.

"Yao'er, it's not good for us to keep eating what your mother brings. We can't accept your mother's things in the future. Mother knows that you have never suffered, so you can bear it a little longer and wait for Bin'er to come back." Now, we have money to buy rice to eat." Chen Huang said earnestly to Li Yao.

Seeing the expressions of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Li Yao couldn't help wondering: Is it wrong for her to pick up the eggs and flour from her mother?

"Father, mother, it's from my mother, and we didn't ask for it. It doesn't matter. Just treat it as a loan from my mother's family. When I make money in the future, I will return it." The two elders ate without burden, that's all Li Yao could say.

"That's right! Father and Mother, you are all family and you still care about these things." Chen Baojia said while eating regardless: "Sister-in-law, your wild vegetables are really delicious."

"Eat, Yao'er is right, we must pay back the money we make in the future!" Chen Shizhu frowned after hearing what his daughter-in-law said.

As soon as Chen Shizhu spoke, Chen Huangshi and Xing'er picked up the chopsticks.

Li Yao looked at the sweet potato soup in the bowl, thought of the half bag of white noodles and eggs, and thought that no matter which dynasty people depended on food, they could only make money fast by making food, but now they have no capital, and sweet potatoes are ready-made Yes, I can only think of a way here.

"Father, I have an idea. Didn't my mother bring half a bag of white flour and eggs? I want to make some sweet potato cakes and sell them in the town. I wonder if it's okay?" Li Yao looked at her father-in-law and asked.

"Sister-in-law, can you still make sweet potato pancakes? That's amazing! Others say you're lazy and useless!" Chen Baojia said while eating.

"Stinky boy! What nonsense!" Chen Shizhu scolded his son, even if his daughter-in-law was really what others called a slut, he would not allow his son to behave like this.

"Cough! Sister-in-law. I didn't mean that, haha" Chen Baojia realized that he had said something wrong again after being scolded by Old Chen, and didn't know how to explain it, so he just lowered his head and drank the sweet potato soup in the bowl.

Li Yao smiled nonchalantly: "I also saw it in a cookbook before, but I don't know if it works?" Anyway, her brother is the wife, so it's not wrong to say so.

"Then you can try it. Tomorrow is the market day. Ask the Bao family to accompany you. Be careful." Thinking of her daughter's embroidery last time and almost being bullied by a disciple, Chen Shizhu still had lingering fears.

The reason why Chen Shizhu agreed to Li Yao so happily was not because he wanted her to earn a lot of money back, but because he wanted her to stop hiding in the house and seeing no one like before. Chen Shizhu hoped that the wife here would change. , can live steadily with his son.

"Okay." Li Yao knew that the market days here are three, six, and nine, and tomorrow happens to be the third day of September.

The next day, Li Yao woke up early, picked several half-sized sweet potatoes, steamed them, and then peeled them and crushed them with a spatula. Because there is no sugar, put a few tablespoons of flour and five eggs together while they were hot. , and then kneaded into individual cakes, and then put them on a wooden board to flatten. Li Yao deliberately shaped the pressed cakes into the shapes of flowers.

Unlike the 21st century, where there are cake-making molds, it takes a lot of effort to make sweet potato cakes. In order to sell them well, it takes a little effort.Then use the last little oil left at home to fry the sweet potato cakes.When using those oils, Li Yao still felt a little stressed. If these cakes can’t be sold, they can only take them home to eat, but this meal can’t be finished, and the weather can’t stay for too long, it’s a waste After these noodles, eggs and oil!

After everyone got up, they each ate two sweet potato cakes, and then the two elders went to the field. Xing'er happened to be handing in embroidery work, so she went to town with Li Yao and Chen Bao's family.

In order to save money, a few people didn't take the bullock cart. Chenjia Village is not far from the town, and it took about half an hour to get there. If it was in modern times, it would not be difficult for her to walk this way.But now this body was pampered with delicate skin and tender flesh. When she reached the town, her feet were already blistered.Because the three of them went out before dawn, there were not many people when they arrived in the town.
